About Eakin PTO
The Eakin Elementary Parent Teacher Organization represents a strong, diverse community of parents, teachers, and community members who are committed to helping every child at Eakin be their best.
Supporting Students, Teachers, and Families
The Eakin PTO supports teachers, students, families, school events, after-school programs, and community-building throughout the year. Our goal is to help create a connected, inclusive, and supportive school environment for the entire Eakin community.
Our School Community
Eakin Elementary School is a K to 5th grade International Baccalaureate School located in the Hillsboro West End neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee. Eakin is an educational center that draws more than five hundred students from across the city, speaking 22 languages including American Sign Language.
Above all else, the Eakin Elementary Parent Teacher Organization exists to support our teachers and education administrators through a connected, inclusive, and supportive school environment. Our Parent Teacher Organization is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps our school in a spectrum of ways.
The PTO helps by:
- Creating opportunities for communication between parents, teachers, and administration
- Supporting educational growth through financial, organizational, and volunteer contributions
- Celebrating student success and school community through events and programs
- Helping organize after-school activities, clubs, sports, and enrichment opportunities
A Historic Nashville School
Eakin Elementary School is located in a historic 1928 building named in honor of the first woman to join the Nashville School Board. We are centrally located in Nashville near Vanderbilt and Belmont and immediately adjacent to Fannie Mae Dees Park, also known as Dragon Park.
In addition to classroom pods, our school includes a light-filled library with floor-to-ceiling windows, a gymnasium, and a student auditorium. While we appreciate the physical aspects of our building, Eakin Elementary is a fantastic place because of the vibrant and welcoming community.

We invite all families to get involved, stay connected, and help support our students, teachers, and school.
